Meeting Description:
Modelling and processing MWEs for NLP has been the topic of the MWE workshop
organised by the MWE section of SIGLEX in conjunction with major NLP
conferences since 2003. Although much progress has been made in the field, MWE
processing in end-user NLP tasks is currently under-explored, and most studies
still introduce MWEs as future work. Nonetheless, there are recent studies in
which MWEs gained particular attention in end-user applications, including
machine translation (Zaninello & Birch 2020), text simplification (Kochmar et
al. 2020, Liu & Hwa 2016), language learning and assessment (Paquot et al.
2019, Christiansen & Arnon 2017), social media mining (Maisto et al. 2017),
and abusive language detection (Zampieri et al. 2020, Caselli et al. 2020).
Call for Papers:
The special focus for this 17th edition of the workshop is on MWE processing
in end-user applications such as those listed above. On the one hand, the
PARSEME shared tasks (Ramisch et al. 2020, Ramisch et al. 2018, Savary et al.
2017), among others, fostered significant progress in MWE identification,
providing datasets, evaluation measures and tools that now allow fully
integrating MWE identification into end-user applications. On the other hand,
NLP seems to be shifting towards end-to-end neural models capable of solving
complex end-user tasks with little or no intermediary linguistic symbols,
questioning the extent to which MWEs should be implicitly or explicitly
modelled. Therefore, one goal of this workshop is to bring together and
encourage researchers in various NLP subfields to submit MWE-related research,
so that approaches that deal with MWEs in various applications could benefit
from each other.
Following the success of previous joint workshops LAW-MWE-CxG 2018, MWE-WN
2019 and MWE-LEX 2020, we further extend the scope of the workshop to MWEs in
e-lexicons and WordNets, MWE annotation, as well as grammatical constructions.
The 17th Workshop on MWEs invites submissions on (but not limited to) the
following topics:
Traditional MWE topics:
- Computationally-applicable theoretical work on MWEs and constructions in
psycholinguistics and corpus linguistics
- MWE and construction annotation and representation in resources such as
corpora, treebanks, e-lexicons and WordNets
- Processing of MWEs and constructions in syntactic and semantic frameworks
(e.g. CCG, CxG, HPSG, LFG, TAG, UD, etc.)
- Discovery and identification methods for MWEs and constructions
- MWEs and constructions in language acquisition, language learning, and
non-standard language (e.g. tweets, speech)
- Evaluation of annotation and processing techniques for MWEs and
constructions
- Retrospective comparative analyses from the PARSEME shared tasks on
automatic identification of MWEs
Topics on MWEs and end-user applications:
- Processing of MWEs and constructions in end-user applications
- Implicit and explicit representation of MWEs and constructions in end-user
applications
- Evaluation of end-user applications concerning MWEs and constructions
- Resources and tools for MWEs and constructions (e.g. lexicons, identifiers)
in end-user applications
JOINT SESSION WITH WOAH WORKSHOP:
Pursuing the MWE Section's tradition of synergies with other communities and
in accordance with ACL-IJCNLP 2021's theme track on NLP for social good, we
will organise a joint session with the Workshop on Online Abuse and Harm
(WOAH). We believe that MWEs are important in online abuse detection, and that
the latter can provide an interesting testbed for MWE processing technology.
SUBMISSION MODALITIES:
Long papers (8 content pages + references) should report on solid and finished
research including new experimental results, resources and/or techniques.
Short papers (4 content pages + references) should report on small
experiments, focused contributions, ongoing research, negative results and/or
philosophical discussion. All papers should be submitted via the workshop's
START space, available soon. Please choose the appropriate submission modality
(long/short).
